The Black Swan is a traditional 17th Century Cumbrian Inn set in the heart of the Eden Valley, offering beautiful en-suite accommodation, fantastic food and great wines.

Our ideal location between the ancient market towns of Penrith &Appleby-in-Westmorland, makes visiting all destinations in Cumbria, the Lake District National Park and the Historic City of Carlisle a must. If you are looking for a good restaurant near Penrith, Whinfell Forest Center Parcs, breaking a journey or travelling the iconic Coast-2-Coast route there is nowhere better to kick back in front of our roaring fire and relax with a local ale or stunning wine from our selection

Why not try a spot of game fishing on a 4.5 mile stretch of the Eden, which is within a stone's throw from the Black Swan.

Steve, Jacky and the team look forward to welcoming you to the Black Swan soon

Went and spent the weekend in the Lake District with the wife and stayed at the black swan inn. Had a really good experience the staff were very welcoming and quite friendly. The food was really good the sausage and mash topped with a fried egg was so tasty and the malteasers cheesecake was mouthwatering. We stayed at this inn 3 years ago and then it had only just been renovated and decorated the smell of fresh paint then was overpowering, but now under different management the place was a really nice stay thanks guys. - t

Fantastic Sunday lunch with excellent service! The portions are on the rather large side, value for money. Lamb (and everything else) is beautifully cooked, everything is fresh and hot. Menu is satisfying, something for everyone. Maltesers cheesecake is to die for! Cosy lounge and bar area, clean all around. Thank you! - H

During a long journey up from Cornwall we phoned ahead to say we out be a late arrival i.e. 8:30 pm as we wanted to check we could eat. The Chef/Proprietor was fantastic and helpful and we arrived to be welcomed with friendly smiles and an absolutely brilliant and well cooked dinner.Ben who was helping with front of house was great too and this lovely traditional pub with rooms is comfortable, immaculately clean and friendly. Just what you want after a 7.5 hour drive.Comfortable and well equipped bedroom and impeccable friendly service. That's what makes a great stay perfect. Really impressed. I would definitely stay here again. - Amanda B
